Twelve days from Sofia through the Rhodope and the Black Sea coast: Plovdiv and Bachkovo, Smolyan in the mountains, Kazanlak in the rose valley, Veliko Tarnovo, Varna, Nessebar and Burgas, then back west. Eldrive, Shell Recharge and Tesla where present; mountain and rural legs need careful SOC — charge in the cities before the ridges and the long coast hops.
Japanese luxury brand Lexus is preparing to launch its first next-generation electric vehicle at a completely new manufacturing plant in Shanghai. According to the reputable analytical publication Nikkei Asia, mass production of the vehicle is scheduled to begin in the fall of 2027. The new model is being developed with the Chinese domestic market in mind...
Electric cars may lose value faster than comparable gasoline cars, but this doesn’t close the discussion on cost-effectiveness. After 100,000 kilometers in 5 years, the difference in fuel and energy costs ranges from about 19,000 to 27,000 zł in favor of EVs, depending on the charging method.
The BYD Atto 2 Comfort version, priced at 132,300 zł gross, turned out to be a well-developed car for daily driving and longer trips. It performed well in terms of energy consumption, charging, and system quality during testing, though regenerative braking still falls short.
The launch of a new all-electric California family, with additional models, will begin in early 2027 at a price of over 60,000 euros. The article “World Premiere ID. California Cruise: The First All-Electric VW Camper” first appeared on Elektroauto-News.net.
As EV adoption accelerates, battery safety is more important than ever. In this presentation, we introduce Mactac CleanTape® FR, a portfolio of non-halogenated flame-retardant adhesive tapes designed to help manufacturers improve battery pack safety while addressing critical engineering and assembly challenges. Join us to explore EV battery fire risks, key safety standards, flame-retardant tape applications,…
Generational, a UK-based EV battery diagnostics company, has published an analysis of cell-level data from approximately 10,000 used-EV battery tests run through hundreds of dealers across the UK. The median vehicle showed 8 mV between its highest and lowest cell voltages, but around one in 85 tests showed an imbalance above 50 mV, and around…
Ten days from the Danube to the High Tatras and the Spis castles: Bratislava, Trencin, Zilina with Mala Fatra, Liptovsky Mikulas, Stary Smokovec under the ridges, Spisske Podhradie and Levoca, Kosice, then back through Banska Bystrica. ZSE Drive, GreenWay and Tesla in the cities; mountain legs need a cool battery and daylight — charge before the ridges, not after.
ChargeZone operates a public EV charging network with more than 15,000 charging points across 1,200 locations in India and the UAE. The company supports electric passenger and commercial vehicles, and works with automotive manufacturers including Tata, Hyundai, Volvo, Mercedes, BMW and VinFast. Now ChargeZone has expanded its existing partnership with intercity bus operator Fresh Bus.
The Mercedes EQS 450+ features a new 800-Volt powertrain, increased battery capacity, and a steer-by-wire steering system for the first time. We tested it. The article Mercedes EQS 450+: Last Chance for the Electric S-Class first appeared on Elektroauto-News.net.
Texas Instruments (TI) has introduced the TMCS2100-Q1, a coreless Hall-effect current sensor for hybrid and electric vehicle traction inverters that measures the magnetic field around a conductor in both the horizontal and vertical directions rather than on a single axis. The company says displacement error is less than 1% at 0.4 mm of movement and…
As battery-electric commercial vehicles continue to evolve, engineers face growing challenges in designing power distribution architectures that are scalable, efficient, and easy to integrate. Traditional vehicle architectures often require multiple components for switching, protection, monitoring, communications, and control, increasing system complexity, validation effort, and development time. Modular, integrated approaches can help simplify vehicle design while…
LG Energy Solution has started production at a 226-acre battery plant in Lansing, Michigan, that builds large-format cells for both energy storage systems (ESS) and electric vehicles. LG says the plant will have a capacity of 35 GWh per year at full-scale production. The Lansing plant makes lithium-iron phosphate (LFP) cells for stationary storage. LG…
Renault has upgraded the electric hatchback 5 E-Tech by increasing its range and adding a base LFP version. Details at Autocentre.ua…
